Penny Lancaster may be married to the legendary Sir Rod Stewart, but the 54-year-old is famous in her own right.

Taking the modelling industry by storm in the 1990s, Penny has gone on to become a staple on TV and has taken part in multiple shows over the years.

From BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, The Wheel, Tipping Point: Lucky Stars and being a regular panellist on Loose Women, , Penny is no stranger being on-screen.

We're taking a look at the ITV stars' lives away from the spotlight.

Last year, the ITV star opened up on the heartbreaking diagnosis of her sister-in-law, Louise.

During an episode of Loose Women, the panel were discussing breast cancer and the importance of getting checked, before Penny broke down in tears.

Penny shared that Louise, who is her younger brother's partner, learnt about her cancer diagnosis at the same time Penny found out she was pregnant with her third child.

In tears, she said: "I fell pregnant and I was so excited to tell them the news, and they didn't want to have to tell me in that same phone call that Louise had found a lump.

"She was so brave, and she was only 36! So with the NHS only screening at 50, women under the age of 50 must do that self-check because that was the only way she found it, because of the advice breast cancer care had given and about the checking."

In 2011, Louise spoke to the Daily Mail about her diagnosis, admitting she felt pain in her right breast, which she described as sore and uncomfortable.

At the time, she said: "I pressed the palm of my hand flat onto my nipple, and directly behind it I felt a lump. It was like a cross between a pea and a broad bean."

Louise was later told she had stage three breast cancer, however, she did manage to beat it.

Although the ITV star earned fame from being a model in the 90s and now fronts Loose Women as one of the panellists, she took a completely different direction six years ago.

The 54-year-old decided to join police force in London in 2019 as part of a show, although enjoyed it so much she decided to join as an official officer in 2021.

Speaking about her new role on Good Morning Britain, she said: "When you think of policing, you think of the most violent crimes but we're out there to help the most vulnerable.

"At this particular time, there are a lot of incidents on the bridges, and I did help someone who was very desperate on the bridge the other night. It can be rewarding in so many ways."

After becoming an officer, Penny was on duty for Queen Elizabeth's state funeral, along with working the King Charles' coronation in 2023.

Penny has been open about her dyslexia diagnosis, which she didn't receive until she was 46.

In 2018, the ITV star spoke to The Mirror about her learning difficulty, admitting her husband Rod is extremely supportive.

At the time, she said: "Rod has never made me feel in any way like I can't do things. I was asked to read a pledge at a charity event. I was in a panic but he said, 'Go on, Pen, you can do it.'

"I could hear him cheering for me and I read out the words. I didn't get them all right but I read them and I felt like bursting into tears afterwards because it was such a big deal for me."

Although she didn't get her diagnosis until later on in life, Penny confessed she was always aware that she had the condition and would get extra English classes at a young age.
